Police: Fourth playground vandal in custody

Thursday

NEWTOWN TOWNSHIP — The fourth suspect in the trashing of Newtown Township's Roberts Ridge Park is in a New York jail awaiting extradition back to Bucks County, police said.

On Wednesday, police in Auburn, which is near Syracuse, alerted Newtown Township police that Jacob Grussenmeyer, 20, was picked up on the fugitive warrant police here had filed for his arrest.

Newtown Township police Officer Danial Bell contacted Bucks County sheriffs, who have arranged to pick up Grussenmeyer in the next three days, police said. The 20-year-old has already waived his extradition hearing.

Grussenmeyer, of Weymouth Place, and his alleged co-conspirators face felony charges of criminal mischief and related counts for allegedly causing more than $18,000 in damage.

Colin O'Neill, 19, and Max Rosen, 18, were arrested and charged Monday. Both remain in Bucks County prison in lieu of $100,000 bail. The fourth vandal is being charged as a juvenile, police said.
